As Crocodile Dundee might say : “That’s Not a
Project. This is a Project”. I’m talking about our little house building
project compared to construction/re-development of the Large Hadron Collider.
Although it does seem as though both projects operate on similar timescales and
are both subject to unforeseen delays. But why am I bringing up the Large
Hadron Collider ? Well it’s been in the news of late. Having finally proved the
existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson in July 2012, it’s back after
almost 2 years offline. And, of course it is bigger and better than before. “Engineers
hope to gradually increase the beams’ energy to 13 trillion electronvolts:
double what it was during the LHC’s first operating run.
I also watched the documentary “Particle Fever” TV last
week and was quite taken with the story of the LHCs first run.
